Fans will want to take advantage of any early home game because the Warriors will play in Greenville only five times through November. Greenville will spend more time on home ice in December.

The Greenville Road Warriors, coming off their best season in team history, unveiled their schedule for the 2014-15 ECHL season on Wednesday.

The Warriors will open on the road for the third straight year when they travel to face the Orlando Solar Bears on Oct. 18.

They return to the Bon Secours Wellness Arena for their home opener against the South Carolina Stingrays on Oct. 24.

The Warriors face their in-state rival 14 times, more than any other team on their schedule.

Fans will want to take advantage of any early home game because the Warriors will play in Greenville only five times through November. Greenville will spend more time on home ice with a pair of homestands in December.

The first will be a four-game stretch starting with a two-game series against Orlando on Dec. 4, followed by 12-game homestand -- its longest of the season -- beginning Dec. 22 against the Stingrays.

The schedule is made up of 72 games with 36 games each home and away. The Road Warriors will play 22 games on Friday or Saturday night at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena. Nine home games will be held on Thursday nights.

Greenville will wrap up the regular season at home on April 11 against the Gwinnett Gladiators, a team it will face 11 times, including five of the last six games of the regular season.

Greenville’s season came to an end last month in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Cincinnati Cyclones. The Cyclones won the best-of-seven game series, 4-2, to advance to the Kelly Cup Finals against the Alaska Aces.
